  1. Crown Star was one of the best jumpers I've seen in the way he took his fences. Beautiful, clean jumper who would gain ground at every obstacle.
  2. Unfortunately it's now was not is. Sadly missed. Best memories for me: Kenny Browne somehow coaxing Ardri around in pouring rain. The deadheat between Smart Hunter and Sir Avion. The Hunterville treble - what a horse. Keith Haub absolutely nailed the commentaries too.
  3. Many moons ago when I was working in the UK my wife and I made the pilgrimage up to Liverpool to see the Grand National. Long day but so glad we did it. Huge amount of people. A kiwi bred horse won a minor race on the day and I collected a bit of that. Good memories.
  4. The greatest regret for me is that I'll never see another Great Northern at Ellerslie. So many memories. I even had the privilege to walk the course when Nescafe were sponsors many years ago.
  5. I probably shouldn't have called you a halfwit but, to me, $250,000 is way too low.
  6. Per Incanto mare with two G1 wins. The connections are selling because it's a syndicate and also because one of the principal shareholders owns family members.
  7. Just to be clear I said a million but who the hell would know? It will be interesting.
